tennisbc Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 Sad to hear for all involved and families. Quote
ST413 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 I am not going to get into the incident but have a question. Why is Thompson redshirted? Is it injury related? Quote

CardinalBacker Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 It'll be interesting to see if there is actually any evidence to prove that these four are guilty as charged. There's been so much talk and speculation. I'm glad for all involved that the proceedings are in Galveston County where I believe the case will be presented on the merits as opposed to closer to home where both sides enjoy a lot of sympathy.

Sometimes a witnesses’ statements are enough to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. If you have 6 people say “I saw a tall dude in a green shirt kicking that one kid,” and then those six witnesses identify a guy in a green shirt in a picture taken the same day at the same location and they all agree “yeah, that’s him. That’s the dude that was doing the kicking.....” well, I’m convinced. But I have to admit that I’d be a lot more easily convinced if there was an actual video of the beating. I guess the bad news is that while the local community might view a racial slur (alleged) as a valid reason to beat someone half to death, your friends and families’ opinions don’t really matter. It all comes down to how a jury feels about it. My OPINION is that these young men will end up convicted (or pleading to) a lesser charge. Then everybody can get on with their lives. I hope that the right decision based on the available evidence be reached... whatever that decision turns out to be. Quote
wo-s#1 Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 People on different web sites are saying they seen the video....must be one Quote
biaplayer Posted October 30, 2017 Report Posted October 30, 2017 there is one, have a friend that is very close to the boy that got beat up. Im guessing they aren't trying to make it public, I hate to see good players do stupid things and get into trouble. Poor judgement happens all the time, curious to see how it all plays out in court.

BMTSoulja1 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Posted October 31, 2017 Agreed. This seems so familiar. I've seen an article like this from a particular Beaumont Enterprise editor a few weeks back with negative intent. Anyway.... It's moved. Hagar 1 Quote

BMTSoulja1 Posted October 31, 2017 Report Posted October 31, 2017 This article is in negative light and to post it to a sports forum. Smh. Non of those kids play on this year's Stang team. Just seems that you (and your boss ) have a short history of posting and publishing things in a negative light. I'm just glad that you're man enough to talk about this incident openly... Quote

Not my website, so I have no issue with it being moved. And not all news is going to be positive. I know that, you know that. But news is news, whether you like it or not. Quote
biaplayer Posted October 31, 2017 Report Posted October 31, 2017 don't know who started it don't really care. Sad to say it but there is no denying it and no one is saying names. I don't understand why these young men get into trouble like they do but it happens. Hate to see anyone dig there selves a hole for any reason that it may be. I know these four young men aren't on the rosters this year and no way is it pointing to the WOS Mustangs as a whole. Good to see WOS doing what they do. Nothing but respect for the Stang tradition they come to play every year and have an impeccable reputation and a winning tradition! Hagar 1 Quote
